Hey Al — similar PE background, been deep in industrial origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Al, see we share a similar PE path, though I was in London doing growth equity not building an industrial PE firm in Dallas. most funds at this stage have stacked up a pretty solid toolkit — PitchBook, a CRM like Affinity or DealCloud, maybe Grata, sourcing consultants, the works. but proprietary deal flow still doesn't match the investment in tools. everything sits in silos — thesis over here, network over there, data somewhere else — so the off-market pipeline never really compounds. keen to know if Rox sees the same thing, or if you've cracked something better? — Russ

hey Al — this kept rattling around. when I was doing growth equity we had every subscription going — PitchBook, CRM, enrichment tools, the lot — and I still spent half my time manually pulling origination together across all of it. always wondered if that was just us being disorganised or if it's genuinely universal. did you ever run into that at Rox, or was it just us? — Russ
hey Al — appreciate the connect either way. I'm in and around industrial origination all day — if you ever want to swap notes on what's working, I'm easy to find. — Russ
